What To Expect

Hong Island Sunset Tour, take you to visit the most beautiful beach and paradise island, Krabi Thailand. The tour will take you to the main island in the Hong Islands group for sightseeing and snorkeling in crystal clear water such as Pakbia Island, Lading Island, Hong Lagoon, Dry off on the white sand beach, and bathing in the warmth of the sunset.

After the other tourists have left you’ll love this magical place, waves lapping gently as the sun goes down. The water is at bath temperature and just begs to be swum in. Sit down and eat a delicious BBQ buffet dinner at the beach. It’s always a fantastic atmosphere. There’s a cool box for cold drinks and some fresh tropical fruit to finish it all off.

After eating, take a moonlit dip in the sea. If you are lucky you may get to see the phosphorescent plankton like fireflies in the water. Even the boat ride back to the pier, watching the light go down over Klong Muang Beach and islands disappearing behind you is a memory of Krabi that you won’t forget for your memorable trip.

Great

Great trip, Mr Green was a fantastic tour guide. Loved the islands and the food. Only slightly underwhelming thing was the plankton as they don’t really light up the sea as your picture shows but all in all a great day

This was a really worthwhile cruise - we got to snorkel in 2 different locations, with plenty of time to explore Hong island. The crew were friendly, and while the boat was full, it didn’t feel crowded.

Beautiful Sites, Great Staff — But the Tour Should Have Been Cancelled Due to Tides

The trip should have been cancelled. I understand the operator can't change the weather but they knew the tides and currents on their phone as we were shown. And they knew they would render most sites inaccessible. They could have rebooked us for another day. For the record the staff were great, super friendly and accommodating. We stopped at Red Island for snorkeling. They did not let us snorkle because the current was too strong. However there was another catamaran and their clients snorkeling on the spot - which made it awkward. Why do they get to snorkle but we don't? Captain and guide then changed their mind and almost let us go but made the call and we moved on instead. I get the safety, of course, but if it's good enough for other snorkelers. We also heard other groups had a chance to. Next we hit Hong island. It is beautiful and worthwhile. There is a lookout, which he did and enjoyed. Takes 15 mins up and 15 down. And a short tsunami loop that they present as a nature trail through the jungle. Also pleasant and brief. There were meant to be monitor lizards around but nothing we could see. The beach was closed because low tide exposes the corals. So no swimming or snorkeling. This makes sense. I asked to swim in a different area but there's a reason there's designed swimming area, the other spot was riddled with urchins with long spikes. I tried to snorkle a little but it was too sketchy to we stopped. This was not on the operator, they were just trying to be accommodating and I appreciated that. We got on the boat and we're brought to the lagoon - again low tide did not allow access to the lagoon. So we stopped a little off from the entrance and we're told whether we wanted a photo. Can't see much without actually going in which with low tide was impossible. We were shown on their app that they knew this, just decided to run the tour regardless. Next we went to Koh Lao Lading. Even more stunning. And had a genuinely big and tasty lunch with chicken, rice, fruit, etc. Same rules. No snorkeling no swimming because of low tide. Last we went back to our departure point for plankton. That lasted about 10-15 mins in the water and they were few and sparse, though in fairness still visible, but not the 'blue waves" that you might have seen online. It may have to do more with plankton blooms and timing. All that to say, great staff, but the operator knew low tide would close all snorkeling, swimming at beaches and the lagoon from access. I got more wet from the ocean spray and rain than anything else. The sites were stunning and totally worth it. Do yourself a favour and check the tides yourself before booking. But otherwise a great your, if done right.

Great way to spend the afternoon

Despite the language barrier, the guides were very kind & professional. It was well organised & enjoyable. We could not see the sunset due to cloudy weather. Pick up & drop off service was also great.

Great Tour

The Tour was amazing! Especially because of our Tourguide A.J. (i hope I got it right). He did it so authentically and passionate, took pictures of us and hyped us up. We saw the Lagoon of the Hong Islands and were at the besch for 1 1/2 hour. We wishef that we could have stayed a bit longer there, then we went to another beach for Barbecue - all if the beaches there are a dream. Fort the sunset we stopped in the middle of the sea and watched it, it was magical. Then the highlight was swimming in the Bioluminescent Plankton!! All in all great Tour with great People and great Guides 🥰

Relaxing Trip

This trip was relaxing, long stop on Hong Island gives you the time to arrive on the top to enjoy the view and then spend time on the marvellous beach. The stop on the next Island for the bbq with the sunset was stunning! Also swimming with plancton is something to not miss!

I would certainly repeat

It was a very special excursion. If you are looking to get out of the super tourist spots and into one of the islands in the area, it is your place. We enjoyed a barbecue and a sunset being only on the island those who traveled with the tour (they are not groups of more than 25 people). The Guide was great and is always on the lookout for nothing missing.
